What people say, in short
Middle Brow draws recommendations for pizza at Bungalow on Armitage, with one diner specifically praising the sourdough and others favoring tavern style. Diners who like it praise the crust, patio and beer, while others find the pizza overrated, too sweet or expensive for its size. Its Detroit-style collaboration at Beer Temple is a separate venue experience.
